Memory Leak about namer HOT 1 CLOSED

If you have very large files, and are using mp4 embedding - it can take a large amount or processing/resources to embed the metadata in files. part of this is likely cached filesystem content. most users haven't reported this as an issue and have namer running for months, if you have something more exact - or hints based on your setup/usage pattern there might be something we can recommend you do. also generating phash is intensive as well. regardless this isn't something that can be addressed with the info provided, nor is it certain this isn't normal behavior on a very large mp4 - more over I've been running namer in a linux docker env with an old i3 and 16 gigs of ram with 20+ other containers, so there's something else going on here. Maybe you're running the container in a vm or something else that chews up resources - where you should instead prefer the python pip?
